Quote of the Week:My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

Proverbs 1. 10

Preparing for Christmas

For every meaningful activity, preparation is imperative. The celebra-tion of Christmas, each year, is no exception, though I am not speak-ing of the usual, mun-dane activities associat-ed with this significant holiday.

Indeed, most people think of Christmas only in terms of shopping, sending cards, exchang-ing gifts, not to mention the usual sights, sounds, and smells of the sea-son, besides other fac-tors associated with this festival, noticed every-where.

Thus, the prepara-tions in which many engage themselves for Christmas is limited to the foods they choose, the parties they enjoy together, the presents they give or receive, not to mention some of the excesses into which so many also go!

There is no question that Christmas is indeed an ideal time for giving, a time for joy and cel-ebration, a season when beautiful music fills the air in a great variety of locations.

Nevertheless, Christ-mas is much more than all that which, sadly, is often left out complete-

ly. While much of what has been mentioned may have a place as part of the festivities through-out the season, its true significance is in the Person Whose birthday is celebrated on Decem-ber 25.

Jesus, the Son of the living God, conde-scended to come down to earth and be born of a virgin, so as to iden-tify Himself with the people He came to save through His eventual death on the cross. Sad-ly, as St. John records in his Gospel, “He came to His own, and His own received Him not; but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in His name”(John 1:11-12).

Christmas is, and shall always be, about Him Who came to bring us life, and life more abundant!

Thus, in preparing for Christmas, we must never lose our focus no matter whatever else we do. We need to gaze upon Him with grate-ful and believing hearts, since He is the greatest gift anyone can receive at Christmas time, or at any other occasion!

A Boca Christmas‘Twas the night before Christmas

down here in Boca,

I was sitting at Starbucks,

... drinking my mocha.

I know we’re all Jewish,

but was wondering still,

if Santa would come here

and give us a thrill.

On my way home,

no Christmas lights did I see,

on the houses, the windows,

not even the trees.

What a strange feeling.

Not a decoration in sight.

Was it really December

or a warm summer’s night?

I drove past Toojay’s,

there were lines out the door.

People were waiting

for kishka and more.

The restaurants were busy,

Christmas dinners not planned.

Never, not here,

we’re in Boca Land .

At home all was quiet.

I left out Kosher wine,

In case Santa came to Boca

for the very first time.

Snoozing came easy

to me Christmas Eve.

I wasn’t waiting for presents

to be left under a tree.

I could hope all I want.

I could fuss and then see,

if Santa would make time

for little old me.

Then all of a sudden

he pulled up in his Jag,

with a sack full of presents

each sporting a tag.

Oh Bloomies, Oh Saks,

Oh Neiman’s and more.

He knows where to shop,

he frequents my stores!

He looked for the lox,

the bagels and deli.

He came to Boca first

to fill up his belly!

“I have a long night ahead,

I want you to know.

From Boca I leave

for New York and the snow.”

He stayed for a while,

he chatted and ate.

Then he left in a flash

before it got late.

What a great night

I thought with a sigh.

That jolly old Santa

is a really nice guy.

As I cleared off the table

I heard with delight

“Shalom to you all,

and OY, vat a night!!”

Best wishes

for a happy new year.....

Santa, friends and helpers make Boca Fire Rescue toy delivery a successBOCA RATON --

On Saturday Decem-ber 17th and Sunday December 18th, San-ta Claus, Mrs. Claus, elves and friends boarded a fire engine and delivered toys to good boys and girls throughout the city of Boca Raton.

Instead of his usual red sleigh, a fire en-gine driven by mem-bers of the Firefight-ers of Boca Raton Local 1560 loaded

with gifts took Santa to visit the children. The fire engine pulled down the street with the siren and air horn sounding to announce Santa had arrived.

This is the 21st year that members of Boca Raton Firefight-ers Local 1560, fam-ily and friends have been doing this event. For a $20 donation per gift, Santa and his elves will deliver each gift on a fire engine to

the child’s home. This year’s pro-

ceeds will assist in sending holiday care packages to troops overseas, and funding college scholarships for eligible students within our community.

The firefighters of Boca Raton and spe-cial volunteers donat-ed their time to make this program a suc-cessful part of their commitment to serv-ing the community.



To the editor:

WOW, what a wonderful issue (Edition 78). Your tribute pages to Gloria Drummond were so de-served by a woman who changed the landscape for quality healthcare access to the Boca Raton community and now the region. Thanks for a great overview of her life, which as the tribute from Boca Raton Regional Hospital acknowledg-es: “Memories become treasures”. I also wanted to thank you for your warm wishes for Jon and my 25th wedding anniversary. Seeing our photo and your wishes were both unanticipated (which made it that much more special) and much, much appreciated. It is a milestone that we are blessed to celebrate!

Bonnie S. Kaye President & Chief StrategistKaye Communications, Inc.

Many blessings to you and your staff, Doug.

The residents are thrilled with reading their hometown paper -- The Boca Tribune! Thank you for the wonderful coverage; I will keep news com-ing!

P.S. Loved the story on The Countess as well. She is amazing!

With enthusiasm,Colleen M. WilsonPublic Relations ManagerACTS Retirement-Life Communities

My home town of At-tleboro, Massachusetts, isn’t a tourist trap. But there is one attraction which draws local resi-dents and tens of thou-sands of travelers around Christmas time.

Most people who’ve traveled through southern New England have seen the Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette. It’s open nearly every day of the year, and provides a wonderful spot for walking, meditating and clearing one’s mind.

At Christmas, the 10-acre Shrine becomes a holiday showplace with as many as 300,000 bulbs on the trees, hedges and reli-gious symbols that dot this wonderful and beautiful spot.

Every Christmas since we’ve moved to Florida, my wife and I think of the holiday seasons when we visited La Salette. It’s practically a must for ev-eryone from Attleboro and its environs to visit. I re-member the large parking lot filled with cars, and, at the far end, buses from many other states and even as far away as Canada would line up.

A visit to La Salette usually meant one thing – wear something warm. It wasn’t uncommon to see lots of people gathered in the cafeteria nursing cups of coffee and hot chocolate and enjoying something to eat.

The lights go on at La Salette on Thanksgiv-ing Day and shine every evening through Jan. 1. I remember riding with my parents in the car late on Thanksgiving just to get a look at the light display. The traffic on lower Park Street was heavy in both directions, and often, po-lice had to direct vehicles as they entered the Shrine grounds, going down the hilly driveway to the park-ing lot below.

Brave souls who didn’t mind the cold walked the semi-circular realm of dis-plays – the outdoor chapel, the crèche, the stairways lined with voting candles that shone through the dark red glass. There was the tomb of Jesus, with its large votive candles, and the Stations of the Cross along the walkway.

One site I remember well is the stairway lead-

ing up to a large crucifix. Those with passionate needs would climb those stairs in hopes of bring-ing God’s attention to the matter. I remember my mother climbing up those slate-rock stairs on her knees to pray for my younger brother when he was a small boy afflicted with a serious illness.

La Salette has a won-derful bookstore and gift shop, another spot for warmth on a cold night. Nearby was the chapel where Masses were said on a daily basis.

I don’t know if he is still there, but Father Andre Patenaude – Father Pat, we used to call him – was one of the top brass. He

was a wonderfully friendly man and a great singer. He has released a number of albums, and has a melodi-ous tenor voice much like Neil Sedaka.

There is a special per-sonal addition to the Shrine this year, one that my late mother asked for. My brother recently sent a photo showing a plaque on the Rotary Walk me-morializing our parents. I know she spent a lot of time there, and it’s a fitting honor.

If you can’t visit La Salette in person, log onto www.lasalette-shrine.org And as you look at pictures of the heavenly lights, have a wonderful and mer-ry Christmas season.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

The Boca Raton Tribune EDITORIALS & LETTERS East/West Boca Raton, FL

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.POSITIVE LIVING

Your Ever-Present Past!

The past, though long gone, remains ever-present in your life. Even things you may have forgotten can eas-ily return to mind, either to haunt you or to bless you. Although one’s past is for-ever gone, it still influences one’s present, whether for good or for ill. We look to the past only to move in a fresh direction; we don’t return to yesterday to stay there, for only tomorrow in-vites us into new possibilities and hope!

No one can live in the past, but nobody can discard it completely either. That’s why in the Bible the verb “remember” is often found. It is used as a means of bring-ing back to mind whatever can encourage us in the pres-ent and lead us forth into the emerging future. It is also a means of reminding us that issues that appear impossible in our current predicament may have already been suc-cessfully resolved in years past. Therefore, we remem-ber!

In many ways the past has been removed far from us, but we can still visit it from time to time for what it

can teach us about ourselves, about the world, about the here-and-now, and about the emerging future!

The very concept of memory is perpetually cher-ished by any human, be-cause the term frequently denotes something pleasant, worth remembering. Bad memories, however, are also lodged in the human mind but these need not remain central in one’s heart and remembrance. Everyone has the ability to put away every corrosive influence that, if left undetected or un-touched, can bring ruin into a person’s life!

One problem is that many who faced unpleasant life ex-periences, tend to hold on to them indefinitely instead of eliminating them at the ear-liest possible chance. When-ever distressing events hold us captive, they inflict on us unnecessary, harmful pain, often with paralyzing or even lethal consequences.

Such is indeed the picture of a person who remains in the grip of past hardships, enslaved by bad memories, and incapable of moving forward. Yet, the impacting effects of such experience need not become central in a life, for they can be avoided

altogether.Certain memories,

whether good or bad, may remain within one’s recol-lections as long as that in-dividual breathes. But even then, they need not become dominant in that person’s experience; they can be tran-scended by newer, pleasant, positive thoughts!

In my evaluation of cer-tain humans, I’ve come to discover that some people’s clock stopped ticking a long time ago. Other persons ad-vanced their clock too far ahead into a future that won’t arrive for quite some time, while a few freeze their clock in the present, not allowing it to make progress beyond a fixed moment. Christians must take their clue from Him Who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the Lord of all time! While giving heed to the present moment in which you live, there’s no need to ignore the past altogether, nor be unconcerned about the future.

St. Augustine provided a good balance in the chal-lenge he once offered: “Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to his love, the future to his providence.” That we all can do!

We wish you a Merry Christmas, a very, very

Merry ChristmasI want to wish every-

one a Merry Christmas. And to those honoring Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or celebrations specific to other faiths, I want you also to enjoy your special time.

Let me talk about Christmas for just a bit. Like the song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” That’s true of any year.

It’s great when a year is good and everyone has some cash jingling in their pockets when holi-day time comes around. But this year, as in the past few years, a lot of people don’t have very much money to pay the bills and also to buy pres-ents.

Sometimes, we have to forget about the “now” in favor of the traditional. We have to think of the Miracle in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. Even if you don’t believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, we have to believe that he was a man with a very special message, who was gift-ed with a charisma that reached to all parts of the world. And whose memory is memorialized by millions.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, could have come to this world on wings of Glory. But he didn’t. He came the same way your and I arrived on this

planet – as a baby nur-tured in the womb and born into the world. But Christ was born on a day that would be celebrated for all times.

No matter how you perceive Jesus, he did not come with royal robes and flights of angels. He was born in a manger – in a stall where horses and cattle feed. There was nothing spectacular about his arrival on earth – much the way there was nothing spectacular in many of our lives this past year – or in the past few years.

Jesus was never rich in a material sense. His fam-ily was poor, and he eked out a living the way his father, Joseph, did – as a carpenter. As he grew, he went to the Temple and taught his lessons. Yes, Jesus was also a teacher.

In our world today, carpenters and teachers do not receive substan-tial amounts of pay. But their work is important because it provides us shelter and gives us an education – things vital to our lives.

In life, Jesus never ruled as the Son of God. If anything, he rejected the regal world for that of his Father in Heaven, where we all want to dwell someday. He told us how to do it. He told us he loved us – he loved all of us, imperfect as we

humans are. We are sin-ners, but he will always forgive. Even as he died on the cross, he forgave us.

To this day, he hears the cries of the poor and the wails of the home-less. And while some feel Jesus doesn’t treat us all fairly, this just isn’t so. We are the ones who must work for a living, pursue happiness, which is not guaranteed, and learn the lessons of life that are sometimes dif-ficult to fathom, but are necessary.

Now is not a time to fall into depression, but rather, it’s the time to cel-ebrate. To hang colorful wreaths and ornaments. Share the spirit of the season. It costs nothing to share good will with other men and women.

We have seen how those with more material things help those with less by donating food and toys. There is a special feeling we share just by walking down the street and saying “Hi” to people we don’t even know.

It’s the spirit that’s im-portant, not the material-ism. At this time of year, we must abandon sadness for a happier demeanor.

We need to keep the good mood and the faith of good days into the fu-ture as we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

YMCA of South Palm Beach surpasses 2011 goal; raises $300,000 in seven weeksBOCA RATON --

YMCA of South Palm Beach County’s CEO Dick Pollock announced Dec. 9 at the Y Annual Campaign Celebration Breakfast and Holiday Party that the or-ganization not only met their goal for the 2011 An-nual Community Support Campaign, but surpassed it by over $70,000 and ex-ceeded the amount raised in 2010.

This feat was achieved

in only seven weeks by a group of 900 campaign-ers and donors made up of YMCA members, staff and Board Members, a class of preschoolers from the Boynton Y, and the local Palm Beach County com-munity.

The funds raised sup-port the YMCA of South Palm Beach County’s Fi-nancial Assistance Pro-gram, giving over 2,500 families in need the ability

to take part in all the Y has to offer, from preschool and youth sports to aftercare.

“I want to recognize the efforts of all involved, but in particular, special thanks go to the Campaign Chairs,” Pollock said. “Be-cause of their leadership and dedication, the 2011 Campaign raised $300,000 – this is $70,000 over the established goal and an impressive $80,000 more than last year’s campaign.

We are grateful for their continued and unwavering commitment to the Y.”

The Association An-nual Community Support Campaign Chair was Paul Adkins. The Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton Campaign Chairs were Craig Ernst and Dev-on Falcone and the De-Vos-Blum Family YMCA of Boynton Beach Chairs were Jody Rivers and Ni-cole Cummings.

Wee Dream Ball raises funds for Zimmerman Family Toddler ProgramBOCA RATON --

Passionate long-term donors and enthusias-tic new friends came together at the recent Wee Dream Ball with a single, united goal – to ensure that the dis-advantaged children at Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC) will continue to have access to edu-cational and wellness programs that prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.

Under the leader-ship of Linda & Ralph Behmoiras and Amy & Mike Kazma, the Bol-lywood-infused Wee Dream Ball contrib-uted an astounding $366,000 to the two Florence Fuller Child Development Centers

in east and west Boca Raton.

“We are awed by the ongoing support of our multi-year sponsors who are committed to our mission to create a brighter future for at-risk children in our community,” said Linda Behmoiras.”

Amy Kazma added: “This year it was cru-cial that we secured funding for the need of quality early childhood education. Our donors understand the impor-tance of preschool and afterschool programs for low-income fami-lies and realize that every child deserves a chance to reach their full potential. We are especially grateful to Gail Wasserman, our honorary chair, who is truly a Big Heart Help-ing Little Ones.”

Board member Jay Foreman, along with MC Alberto of Pure Energy, led the eve-ning’s activities and DJ Andre ensured that the dance floor was always

full. The evening’s ap-peal called Giving from the Heart, was introduced by Denise & Jordan Zimmerman and raised an unprec-edented $106,000 for the centers’ Zimmer-man Family Toddler Program.

Spokespersons for the appeal, former FFCDC students, Josh-ua McMann, an 8th grade class vice presi-dent, Julissa Cabal-lero, an executive with Toshiba and Steve Gef-frard, current #1 U.S. amateur heavyweight

boxer who is headed for the Summer Olympic Trials, took the stage and relating stories of

how FFCDC made a difference in their lives.

FFCDC parent, board member and Boca Raton police of-ficer, Cornelius Reilly also spoke of the im-portance of FFCDC programs to both his family and the commu-nity

The FFCDC mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of young children from economically chal-lenged families in our community. Florence Fuller Child Develop-ment Centers provide childcare, early educa-tion, family support programs and the only Head Start preschool in Boca Raton.

Kids decorate cookies, collect toys for St. Mary’s Medical CenterBOCA RATON – A couple

of dozen kids got a chance to decorate cookies at a Boca Ra-ton restaurant Sunday after-noon. They also collected toys for St. Mary’s Medical Center.

The children did their award-winning work at Saquella Cafe, in Royal Palm Place. Three winners were chosen, and received prizes for $75 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third

place. Avi Sekerel, chef/owner of

Prosecco Cafe in Palm Beach Gardens, where a similar cookie decorating contest was held Saturday, and Saquella Café, said “This is a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays. The children can have fun dec-orating and eating the cookies -- which we will bake at our restaurants -- but they will also be donating toys to the

children that are at St. Mary’s. We are proud to be able to get the community involved in a wonderful family-centered event that captures the true spirit of the season.”

Participants decorated their cookies as gingerbread men, Christmas trees, dreidels, and menorahs using icing, sprinkles, colored sugar, and chocolate supplied by Saquella.

The toys were turned over

to the Parent-Child Center’s Child Life Program at St. Mary’s “When children are ill and in the hospital, they are unable to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones. The gifts that the children re-ceive from caring individuals, really make a difference during their hospital stay,” said David Tkac, the director.

The Parent-Child Center, Inc. has two special programs,

the Child Life and Pediat-ric Oncology Support Team (POST) programs, which are dedicated to providing medical psychosocial support services to children who have acute or chronic health conditions and their families. Both programs provide services to children who are in the Children’s Hos-pital at St. Mary’s Medical Center.

Carver students’ work to be displayed on bus shelters, water billsDELRAY BEACH –

Carver Community Mid-dle School and the city of Delray Beach began cel-ebrating Florida city gov-ernment by proclaiming October 2011 as Florida City Government Month.

This year, the city ex-panded its award-winning civics education to include a new program that teach-es middle school students about the importance of water conservation through an understand-ing of the city’s water and wastewater operations.

The new water conser-vation program included

presentations from city staff on the municipal drinking water opera-tions and water conserva-tion efforts to 100 CCMS students as well as a field trip for 20 students to the City’s Water Treatment Facility and the South Central Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant.

During the field trip, students got a hands-on opportunity to see both plants in action and how they can protect/conserve water resources.

In addition, students were educated how water, after it is used, is collected,

treated and safely returned to the earth to recharge the aquifer.

Following the field trip, the middle school stu-dents were encouraged to participate in the “Delray Beach Water Conservation Poster Contest.” They cre-ated art posters on water conservation, which were evaluated by the City’s Art Board. Selected art works will be converted into glass panels and displayed in bus shelters around Del-ray Beach. Students also wrote articles that will be featured in city water bills, reaching 25,000+ resi-

dents.Students also wrote

news articles educating the public on the impor-tance of water conserva-tion. Selected articles will be published in the city’s monthly newsletter, which is included in more than 21,000 residential and business utility bills.

During a City Commis-sion meeting on December 6, participating students were recognized for their efforts in promoting water conservation and received a personalized proclama-tion from the mayor and City Commission.

BOCA RATON -- Since purchasing the property that once housed the long-closed Wildflower restaurant, the Boca Raton City Council has been seeking a “revenue generating” use for the land.

A new restaurant seems the popular choice for the prime parcel lo-cated on the Intracoastal at East Palmetto Park Road.

But downtown prop-erty mogul James Batma-sian recently urged the council to scrap the res-taurant idea in favor of rental housing. He said there are currently 150 to 200 eating spots in the downtown, all of which “are suffering” because of the poor economy, heavy competition and the “need for more bod-ies” in East Boca.

Rental property, he said, would deliver those bodies, to dine at the ex-isting restaurants and

help keep them afloat.Batmasian and archi-

tect Douglas Mummaw made a presentation at a recent council work-shop. City officials had no questions for either of them and took the matter under consideration.

The city bought the property for $7.5 million in 2009 after deciding the site has strategic impor-tance to the downtown. But Batmasian noted that both the Wildflower and Maxwell’s Chophouse previously failed on that block.

“Another restaurant is certainly not a guaran-teed business plan for the Wildflower property,” he said. “A restaurant would have to be substantial, similar in size to the original Wildflower res-taurant, in order to lease the land from the city.”

Batmasian said the city would be hurt if the restaurant succeeds since it would draw customers

from other eating places that may be on the finan-cial edge. But failure of a new restaurant would also hurt as it would add another empty building to the cityscape.

He said a rental hous-ing development would be compatible with sur-rounding homes. He also said the Wildflower land could be used for public access to the Intracoastal and revive Silver Palm Park on the south side of the Palmetto Park Bridge.

In total, Batmasian said he wants the site to have the dual function of a public park/boardwalk along the water, with some modest-sized (900-1,000 square feet) rental apartments.

The priority of the concept would be to ex-tend the public park realm of Silver Palm by creating a continuous boardwalk and additional boat docks. This would

create continuity beneath the bridge and “give the water to the public.”

“Moving parking into a compact structure both below and at grade, would mitigate parking concerns,” Batmasian said. “Small-scale rentals would mean an increase in residents living east, which would help pro-

mote commerce as these individuals would be shopping locally, dining and paying taxes in the east Boca quarter.”

The council is current considering five potential uses for the Wildflow-er: an outdoor center, a dockside market or three eating spot plans from the Hillstone Restaurant

Group, Guanabanas Res-taurant and Bricktops.

Following an Oct. 18 meeting, the council re-ceived 61 emails. Eleven favored passive recre-ation while 45 opted for a “destination” such as a restaurant, concession, amphitheater, a place for food trucks or a site for art shows, among others.

Batmasian proposes rental housing development on Wildflower site

FAU gets $3.5 million grant for school leadership development program

BOCA RATON – Flor-ida Atlantic University was recently awarded a $3.5 million Race to the Top grant for Job-embed-ded Principal Preparation Programs through the Florida Department of Education.

The grant will provide funding for an innova-tive leadership develop-ment partnership between FAU’s College of Educa-tion’s Department of Ed-ucational Leadership and Research Methodology and Broward County Pub-lic School’s Department of Human Resource Develop-ment.

The grant will fund the Principal Rapid Ori-entation and Preparation in Educational Leader-ship Program (PROPEL), which will be based at

FAU’s Davie campus. The program will institute streamlining and reform of current educational leadership and research methodology and of hu-man resource develop-ment programs to develop a model of professional development that will fa-cilitate qualified, motivated teachers to move into the role of successful princi-pals within the Broward County School District.

“FAU’s College of Education and Broward County Public Schools have been collaborating for some time on developing an innovative educational leadership program,” said Valerie J. Bristor, dean of the College of Education at FAU. “We look forward to working together to move teachers into the role of principals who will suc-cessfully improve student achievement.”

Daniel Reyes-Guerra, assistant professor in the

Department of Educa-tional Leadership and Research Methodology at FAU, will serve as the principal investigator for the program and will have overall programmatic and fiscal responsibilities. He also will chair a steering committee of FAU faculty and Broward administra-tors who will oversee the co-construction, develop-ment and delivery of the academic program.

PROPEL is designed to address the need for prin-cipals who can effectively respond to the challenges faced by urban school leaders in today’s chal-lenging environments. Its purpose will be to build a joint educational leader-ship program to improve student achievement by implementing research-based strategies and con-crete evaluative measures centered on job-embedded experience.

It will accomplish this

by starting groups of 30 highly qualified teachers each year and, through a rigorous and accelerated program, prepare them to be principals of high-need schools.

The first two groups of 30 will be grant-funded. The first cohort will act as the pilot of the newly developed program. The second cohort will run through a reformed model based on the experiences of the first cohort, thus developing continued pro-gram improvement. The program has built-in mea-sures to become self-sus-taining by the third cohort.

Broward County Pub-lic Schools is the nation’s sixth largest school dis-trict, running 232 tradi-tional schools, 76 charters and one virtual school with diverse socio-economic, racial, and cultural demo-graphics including immi-grants from 173 countries, speaking 53 languages.

Man charged with cruelty to animals after killing girlfriend’s dogThe Palm Beach County

Sheriff ’s office and Animal Care & Control apprehend-ed a man who was charged with cruelty to animals after he allegedly killed his girl-friend’s dog.

In September, Animal Care and Control responded to a complaint that came in

anonymously regarding a man fatally beating his girl-friend’s dog (Pomeranian) and then burying the dog in the back yard.

Animal Care & Control questioned the girlfriend who stated her boyfriend got bitten by her dog and he then slammed the dog

down on the ground and the dog passed away a few hours later.

The boyfriend stated the dog bit him when he tried to put the dog in a cage and he just pushed the dog away. Animal Care and Control re-trieved the dog and brought it for a necropsy. Even

though the dog was decom-posed, the procedure found 7 broken ribs on the dog, se-vere internal hemorrhaging and internal bruising.

After a thorough investi-gation, the boyfriend, identi-fied as Benson Thelismont, was arrested cruelty to ani-mals!

Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Major Gifts EventIt was an evening of

glamour and purpose – one marked by the act of giving. To honor those who do-nated at least $10,000 to the 2012 UJA/Jewish Federa-tion of www.sun-sentinel.com Palm Beach County, a special evening of camara-derie, cocktails, education and emotion was held, an-chored by special guest (and former anchorman) Dan Rather.

The annual Major Gifts event was held at St. An-drew’s Country Club in www.sun-sentinel.com. It was there that guests got to pose with Rather for a friendly chat and photo-graph, and it was there that guests heard from those who help to anchor (and support) the UJA/Jewish Federation of South www.

sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/” Palm Beach County.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our most gen-erous donors with a night of substance and sophisti-cation amid the warmth of our Federation family. This is the largest and most pres-tigious fundraising event of our season,” said Wendy Pressner, chair of the Major Gifts Event.

Not only was there a sparkle in the air, but Jew-ish hope and courage stood firmly on solid ground at the event. After everyone sang the Star Spangled Ban-ner, the Hebrew song of hope, Hatikvah was chanted by the guests.

But it was the generos-ity of Anne and Norman Jacobson that was brought

to the forefront of the eve-ning. Because of their do-nation a charitable annuity trust (with $1 million) will be created that will pay $50,000 a year to the Cre-ate a Jewish Legacy Cam-paign, leaving a $2 million endowment to pay $100,000 to the Create a Jewish Leg-acy Campaign in perpetu-ity. Guests were the first to hear that the Federation’s Jewish Community Foun-dation will be renamed the Anne and Norman Jacobson Jewish Community Founda-tion of South Palm Beach County.

David Pratt, Jewish Community Foundation Chair, was elated about the gift and the new naming of the Jewish Community Foundation of South Palm Beach County. “With in-

credible generosity, Anne and Norman Jacobson have made a gift that will allow our Jewish children and grandchildren and future generations to continue to thrive in our community.”

To make the ethereal real - two Holocaust sur-vivors spoke at the event about how they had met years’ ago in the concen-tration camps. The women now both live in Palm Beach County and were reunited after 60 years at Café Eu-ropa. To see a video of their reunion check out www.youtube.com.The event also honored those inducted into the Ketubah Society. “The Ketubah Society pays trib-ute to the dedicated and generous individuals, cou-ples and families who have made cumulative financial

commitments of one mil-lion dollars or more during the Federation’s 32-year history.” Ketubah Society members Larry Phillips and Phyllis and Harvey Sandler welcomed new members William Newman, Dollsey and Seymour Rappaport, Ellen R. Sarnoff, and Ruth Weinberger.

Guest speaker Dan Rather had a few things to say about politics and the state of the union (so to speak). He spoke quite can-didly, like someone who is not running for office (or a promotion). “The 2012 election will cost $3 bil-lion but the election story needs coverage. We should know who gives how much to whom, expecting to get what. It is special interest and money that has polluted

our political system.”He did have a few things

to say about the current state of the news. “The me-dia has really changed. The standards are lowered by the Hollywood-ization and corporate-ization of the media. Only six companies own 80 percent of the me-dia. This is a problem. The free press is the red beating heart of our country.”

To the 300 guests who attended it was a gracious evening of acknowledge-ment and gratitude for what will be the future of the Jewish Federation of South www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/” Palm Beach County. For more information, call 561-852-3160 or email [email protected]”

Getting Warm and Senti-mental in “Le Havre”

We don’t normally think of the French as be-ing warm and sentimental. Think again. “Le Havre” is as warm and sentimental a film as any I’ve seen all year.

Le Havre is a port city in the south of France. As such it is a portal for the flotsam and jetsam of the world. Sometimes that flotsam and jetsam takes human form.

Finnish writer-director Ari Kaurismaki has crafted a heart-warming tale of the human kindness of strangers. Yeah OK, Kau-rismaki is Finnish, but his characters and setting are French or French-speak-ing Africans.

There are many immi-grants from former French colonies of Africa to the homeland of France. Some are legal. Many are not.

Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) is just such a per-son. Idrissa is a 12-year-old boy from the former colony of Gabon. He is one of a crowd of illegal immigrants packed in a

sealed cargo box. When the box was opened, the immigration police were there to bust them. Idrissa was one of the lucky ones to flee successfully. Des-perately he appeals to the first person he saw; an el-derly shoeshine “boy.”

Marcel Marx (Andre Wilms) is a classic under-achiever. Apparently he is perfectly happy working one of the most menial jobs and caring for a sickly wife Arletty (Kati Outin-en). Marcel has the pro-verbial heart of gold, and there is no way he can’t help the cute little kid who

is in such great need.There are other good

people in Le Havre: Chang (Quoc Dung Nguyen), a recent immigrant from Vietnam, and Francois (Francois Monnie) the friendly local grocer. Even the jaded cop Monet (Jean-Pierre Darroussin) has a soft spot for the appealing alien boy.

In short if you need a little mood elevation, “Le Havre’ may make you feel better, and you’ll even have some gentle laughs at the same time.

Three stars

The Spaniard Tapas Bar & CaféI had the great pleasure

of organizing and attend-ing a Media dinner recently at the brand new restaurant that just opened up in the former Moquila location in Downtown Boca called The Spaniard Tapas Bar & Cafe. Amongst the distinguished guests were popular food columnist Jan Norris, Leslie Streeter of the Palm Beach Post, Peter Leonard, host of The Food for Though Radio Show & co-host of The Talk of The Town Ra-dio Show, Deby Goldfarb of Stepping Out Florida, Cary Roman from LivingFla, Linda Haase from The Boca Raton Observer, Shawn & Karen Alleyne-Means from HerLife Magazine, Misha Grosvenor from Broward/Palm Beach New Times and Taylor Morgan from South Florida Dines.

The night got off to a great start as we were greeted by Chef Jorge Luis Fernandez who poured each of us a unique Spanish beer called Estrella Inedit, served in an unusual and attractive bottle- which resembled more of a wine bottle and was even served to us in wine glasses. We were told that this beer was the col-laboration between Execu-tive Chef Fernan Adria of elBulli (a famous Chef from Barcelona), elBulli’s Som-melier and Estrella Damm brewing company - con-ceived & created specifically for food pairings. I’m not much of a beer drinker my-self, however I did give it a try and found it to be pleas-antly crisp and clean with a hint of orange under tones. Once everyone arrived, we were seated at a long table where Chef Jorge stood in front of an easel and draw-ing board. He let us know that we were in for a fun evening and that this was going to be an “Interactive

Experience”. We hadn’t been told of the menu in advance and the Chef wrote on the board the name of each dish and described it to us prior to the staff present-ing each one to us. After we had a chance to savour each dish, he asked us our feed-back and if he accurately presented the dish in the de-scription. We all had a great time with our contributions.

The first dish to arrive was a plate of Cured Pork Loin with Manchego Chees and Spicy “Chorizo”, Wal-nuts and Dates. Freshly baked breads and a Mixed Olive Cocktail with home-made Pickle Garlic and Wild Capers accompanied this course.

Next up was the Chilled “Andalucian Gazpacho” with a “Typical” Spanish garnish. The soup itself was great, but when topped with the assorted garnishes of apples, diced peppers, tomatoes and croutons- it became elevated to a whole new level. This was a real unique treat.

The next dish was Roasted Sweet Piquillo Pep-pers filled with Calamari and Shrimp, and served in a Goat & Cream cheese Be-chamel sauce. The filling was smooth and creamy and slightly sweet which contrasted nicely with the bechamel sauce, which was slightly more rich, had a hint of fresh anisette and tied the whole dish together perfectly. The Baked Corvi-na with Clams and Shrimp came in a lightly scented Saffron Broth Fume topped with White Asparagus. The fish was so flaky and ten-der while the flavors of the broth were so intense. We weren’t provided spoons for this dish, so I ended up us-ing the delicious bread as a vehicle for mopping up what remained in my bowl once

the fish was all gone!We were served a Lem-

on Sorbet with Dry Cava as a palate cleanser to pre-pare us for our next course which was the star of this evening’s delights: the Black Seafood Paella with Cuttle-fish and Aioli. Now, I have only had paella maybe once in my life and never “black” paella. Chef Jorge took the time to explain the proper technique for eating his pa-ella. He instructed us to incorporate his wonderful aioli (not too mayonnaisey, not too eggy, oily or gar-licky- just right!) into each bite and you know what, he was not joking. Combining the aioli with the rice and seafood made each bite a taste of heaven. To comple-ment each course we served throughout the evening a variety of delicious white and red wines. We finished with a Viennese assortment of desserts, European Cof-fees and sweet Sherry. Not one of us left hungry and all of us left very excited and eager to come back for more!

What Does It Take To Have Beau-tiful, Strong Healthy Nails?

Even if you go to a fan-cy nail salon it’s no guaran-tee you nails will be strong and healthy…strong and healthy starts at home.

Many people say they’re having serious problems with their nails . . . some even have problems when keeping their nails short. You will learn here how to take care of the top surface of the nails, as well as the nutrition it takes to de-velop strong healthy nails. This part does not happen overnight – but stick with it and it will work.

Basic Information. Fingernails—and toe-

nails, too—are products of your epidermis and are composed of the protein keratin. Each nail grows outward from a nail root that extends back into a groove of skin.

Fingernails normally grow at the rate of 1/8th inch a month, approxi-mately 2 or 3 times faster than toenails. Growth slows in old age. Sudden or significant changes in the appearance of the nails can be a first sign of illness. Abnormal or unhealthy nails may be the result of a local injury, a glandular deficiency, or a deficiency of certain nutrients.

Contrary to common belief, the structure of the nails is not related to the structure of bone, and tak-ing extra calcium will not strengthen brittle nails. Neither will taking gelatin.

With severe malnutri-tion, after an injury or dur-

ing a course of some kinds of chemotherapy, nail for-mation is impaired. During the several weeks of such impaired formation an area of thinning of the nails can be seen. The width of this zone of thinning of nails corresponds to the duration of the injury or the use of, for example, chemotherapy.

How To Get The Nail To GROW Strong and Healthy.

A protein deficiency can cause opaque white bands to appear on the nails or cause them to become dry, brittle and very thin. Insufficient amounts of complete proteins and/or vitamin A slow down the rate of nail growth (which is also affected by vari-ous drugs). A shortage of vitamin A in the diet may also cause dryness and brittleness. A lack of the B vitamins causes nails to become fragile, with hori-zontal or vertical ridges appearing. The B complex is also a factor in fungus in-festation found underneath the nails. Frequent hang-nails usually indicate an inadequate intake of vita-mins C, folic acid, and pro-tein. An iron deficiency can disturb the growth of the nails, causing dryness, brit-tleness, thinning, flattening and eventually the appear-ance of moon-shaped nails. White spots can be caused by a zinc deficiency.

Any nail abnormality usually indicates that the diet is not adequate; a well-

balanced diet supplying all essential nutrients is rec-ommended.

Nutrients that may be beneficial in treatment of nail problems: Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Folic acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, and Protein. If you have a nail problem that is the result of poor diet or illness, and you plan to do something about it, think in terms of three months because that’s how long it will take before you see the results of improved nutrition through your diet and supplements.

Meanwhile, here are some measures that will help strengthen your nails and keep them that way:

1. Wear rubber gloves whenever you use soap and water or do any kind of manual activity; and have them larger than your usu-al glove size.

2. Use your fingers, not your nails, to pick things up. This, of course, is eas-ier said than done! If you have long nails, use the sides of your fingers.

3. Carry a small Band-aid in your handbag. If a nail cracks, put it on im-mediately, then mend your nail as soon as you re-turn home. You can buy a “mending kit” of some kind in almost any drug-store.

4. Always keep a coat of some type of polish, even clear polish, on your nails for protection.

Boca Hospital names Shilling new medical director for Women’s InstituteBOCA RATON -- Boca

Raton Regional Hospital has announced the ap-pointment of Kathy Schil-ling, MD as Medical Di-rector at its Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute.

Dr. Schilling joined Boca Raton Regional Hos-pital in 1988 and became the Medical Director of Imaging and Interven-tion for the Center for Breast Care at the Wom-en’s Health & Wellness Institute two years later. Under her stewardship, the Center has become the most experienced and comprehensive program in the region, performing over 90,000 diagnostic and therapeutic procedures a year.

An internationally-

known radiologist and pi-oneering researcher in the field of women’s breast health, Dr. Schilling per-formed the world’s first positron emission mam-mography (PEM) biopsy at Boca Regional. She au-thored a subsequent study that showed that PEM and breast MRI had compara-bly high ability to detect cancerous lesions.

Dr. Schilling is also the principle investigator of the SOMO-INSIGHT 3D Automated Breast Ultra-sound (ABUS) technology for the detection of can-cer in women with dense breasts. The hospital is one of six sites nationally participating in this clini-cal research study.

After attending Miami School of Medicine, she

completed her internship at Jackson Memorial Hos-pital in Miami and com-pleted her residency and fellowship programs at Mount Sinai Medical Cen-ter in Miami where she served as Chief Resident of Radiology. In 2001, she was awarded the Weiz-mann Institute of Science Women of Vision Award.

“It is with great plea-sure to announce the ap-pointment of Dr. Schilling to Medical Director of the Institute,” said Jerry Fedele, president & Chief Executive Officer of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “She has demonstrated significant leadership ca-pabilities at the Center for Breast Care and her contributions to women’s healthcare and research

are immeasurable. We are most confident that she will play an integral role in the evolution of the Wom-en’s Institute.”

In September of 2010, the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Well-ness Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital received a $10 million do-nation from philanthro-pist, Christine E. Lynn. Today the Institute is built on the four pillars: clini-cal excellence, education and research, cutting-edge technology and quality. The Institute serves as a “centralized address” for women’s health care needs and information, providing a convenient one-stop shop for women, with coordi-nated access to the broad spectrum of services.

County Commission honors Boca business leader M.J. ‘Mike’ Arts

At the Board of Coun-ty Commissioners meet-ing on Dec. 6, Commis-sioner Steven Abrams presented a proclama-tion declaring December 6, 2011 as “M.J. Mike Arts Day” in Palm Beach County.

Arts, now retired, was president of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce for 20 years and also served on the Boca Raton City Council.

Pictured from left are M.J. “Mike” Arts, Commissioner Ste-ven Abrams and Andrew Duffell.

Boca Hospital doc first in PBC to im-plant new anti-heart failure device

BOCA RATON -- Boca Raton Regional Hospital is the first hospital in Palm Beach County to implant the Unify Quadra™ cardi-ac resynchronization ther-apy defibrillator (CRT-D) and Quartet® Left Ven-tricular Quadripolar Pac-ing Lead in the treatment of heart failure disease.

The new pacing tech-nology, developed by St. Jude Medical, offers addi-tional options that can re-duce the need for another procedure to reposition a lead. It also provides phy-sicians with the ability to more efficiently and effec-tively manage the individ-ualized needs of patients with heart failure.

Murray Rosenbaum, MD, an electrophysiolo-

gist at the Christine E. Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, was the first in Palm Beach County to implant the pacing sys-tem.

“Boca Raton Regional Hospital is proud to be among the first hospitals in the country to implant this state-of-the-art de-vice,” said Dr. Rosenbaum. “We’re committed to pro-viding our patients with this smart technology that will help improve their quality of life.”

Cardiac resynchroniza-tion therapy (CRT) is de-livered by an implantable cardioverter defibrilla-tor (ICD) or a pacemaker. CRT is designed to opti-mize the heart’s pumping

function and help the heart perform in its most natural state by synchronizing the left and right ventricles of the heart through timed electrical pulses.

Some 23 million people worldwide are afflicted with congestive heart fail-ure, and 2 million new cas-es are diagnosed each year worldwide.

“This new system is de-signed to manage the dy-namic challenges of heart failure,” Dr. Rosenbaum said. “Based on the clinical experiences and publica-tions to date, this innova-tive CRT system has the potential to redefine the standard of care in re-synchronization therapy for heart failure patients around the world.”

Dr. Marta Rendon named recipient of Chamber’s Diamond Award

BOCA RATON – Troy McLellan, president and CEO of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Com-merce, has announced that Dr. Marta Rendon, Medi-

cal Director of The Ren-don Center for Dermatolo-gy and Aesthetic Medicine, is the recipient of the 2012 DIAMOND Award -

A DIAMOND recipient is a Dedicated, Inspiring, Accomplished, Motivated, Outstanding, Noble, and Driven businesswoman.

“Once again, we have chosen a deserving recipi-ent who has achieved suc-cess in her professional career and who continu-ally makes a difference in the community of Boca Raton,” said McLellan. “In

her daily life, Dr. Rendon manages to be both a clini-cal woman of science and a person of incredible caring and commitment to others.

The award luncheon will be held Feb. 23 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center, 5150 Town Center Circle Boca Raton

Dr. Rendon’s state of the art, 7,000-square-foot facility is a completion of her life-long mission. Her goal is one of passion and profession to her patients.

Dr. Rendon - the previ-

ous chairperson of the De-partment of Dermatology of Cleveland Clinic Flori-da, - also serves as a clinical associate professor to the Department of Dermatol-ogy at the University Of Miami School Of Medi-cine and in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Florida Atlantic Univer-sity in Boca Raton.

She has gained notori-ety through serving as the spokesperson for Procter & Gamble’s Head & Shoul-ders’ brand as their “global celebrity dermatologist,”

and has been a speaker, advisor to and physician trainer for a multitude of companies, including Merz Pharmaceuticals, Allergan, Galderma, GlaxoSmith-Kline, Johnson & Johnson, Medicis, L’Oreal, among others.

She is a generous dona-tor to The Junior League, Boca Raton Regional Hos-pital Foundation, Spirit of Giving, and Soroptimist causes as well as to a multi-tude of others.

“Motherhood, an un-quenchable thirst for

knowledge, a passion for her patients, and compas-sion for her community all position Dr. Rendon as one of the pivotal members of our community,” said McLellan.

“Although she has been featured on numerous tele-vision news and entertain-ment programs, and many global magazines includ-ing Prevention, Vogue, Al-lure, Elle, her international presence hasn’t taken away from who she is, and that is someone that is truly beau-tiful from the inside out.”

Blimp ride, Naples trip among items sold at Chamber’s Holiday AuctionBOCA RATON -- A

The event, held Wednesday, December 14th at Via Mizner Golf & Country Club,

supported the Cham-ber’s educational pro-grams and network-ing events throughout the year, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Chamber’s Golden Bell Education Foundation and Habi-tat for Humanity of Palm Beach County.

“It’s always fun to get a great deal on a truly unique gift,” said Troy M. McLellan, President & CEO of

the Greater Boca Ra-ton Chamber of Com-merce. “This auction combines unique gift options for attend-ees, the ability to have their purchases benefit charitable causes and the ability to network and benefit their busi-ness – all at the same time. We are grateful for our members and friends who come out to support the Cham-ber and the Holiday

Auction year after year.”

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

Michael H. Gora has been certified by the Board of Specialization and Education of The Florida Bar as a specialist in family and matrimonial law, and is a partner with Shapiro Blasi Wasserman & Gora P.A. in Boca Raton. Mr. Gora may be reached by

e-mail at [email protected].

Changing TimesQ: My wife and I

have been going through a difficult divorce for some time. We have a mediation coming up. We have two boys, ages 11 and 8. I travel for business and we have worked out a visitation schedule which fits our lives, although she has about 70 percent of the overnights.

One of the remaining issues is whether she will agree to a clause stop-ping her from moving with the boys outside of South Florida. My law-yer tells me that such a clause makes little dif-ference; she could still move, with court approv-al. Is she correct?

A: Ultimately, your lawyer is correct. How-ever, not having such a clause in your settlement agreement has a serious effect. Relocation is gov-erned by a Florida Stat-

ute, which provides a list of factors that a court must consider, before al-lowing the move. That statute has changed from time to time.

For several years, be-fore the current statute was passed, there were appellate cases, which said that the residential parent was favored with a presumption for al-lowing the move. The statute eliminated the presumption and concept of residential and non-residential parent. Since the statute change, many more relocations have been denied, then before the statute was changed.

Under the cases inter-preting the new statute, the most tightly drawn anti-removal language does not prevent a judge from allowing removal. If the judge does not find, after applying the statute, that it would be

in the children’s best in-terest to allow the move, and that the move would allow a meaningful rela-tionship between the re-maining parent and the children, permission will be denied.

The non-relocation clause in a marital settle-ment agreement gives the judge a hook to deny permission to re-locate which might make the difference in the outcome of the case.

The judge may require a far stronger reason for your wife’s wish to move than if there were no limitation clause.

Either way, it might take months to get the issue into court. Her reasons to move might change or evaporate. A basic premise of Florida law is that it is generally best for children to have regular access to both parents.

Christmas ThoughtsChristmas means many

things to different people. A teacher asked young Patrick Murphy: “What do you do at Christmas time? Patrick addressed the class: “Well Ms. Jones, me and my twelve brothers and sisters go to midnight mass and we sing hymns; then we come home very late and we put mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then all excited, we go to bed and wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys. “Very nice Patrick,” she said.

“Now Jimmy Brown, what do you do at Christ-mas?” Well, Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to church with Mom and Dad and we sing carols and we get home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents.

Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave him out of the discussion, she asked, “Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christ-mas?”

Isaac said, “Well, it’s the same thing every

year...Dad comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls Royce; then we drive to Dad’s toy fac-tory. When we get inside, we look at all the empty shelves...and begin to sing: ‘What A Friend We Have in Jesus’. Then we all go to the Bahamas.”

To merchants it is the busiest, most profitable time of the year. To em-ployees, we hope for a big Christmas bonus. For many teen-agers & adults it is a time of fun & par-ties. For children it is a time of unbearable wait-ing for Christmas morn-ing. Clearly Christmas has become a mix of the sacred and the secular, and like it or not, believe it or not, we all have to deal with it.

The birth and life of Jesus was in a real histori-cal context.

The biblical account makes numerous refer-ences to historical charac-ters like Caesar Augustus, Archelaus, Publius Quirin-ius all of whom can be verified as having actually existed. The events of the taxing, the slaughtering of babies, the visit of the Magi, all have other non-biblical references as well.

His birth was predicted in Scripture

Born of a virgin Isaiah 7.14

Born in Bethlehem Micah 5.2-4

“In the Old Testament there are sixty major mes-sianic prophecies and ap-proximately 270 ramifica-tions that were fulfilled in one person, Jesus Christ. Using the science of prob-ability, we find the chances of just 48 of these proph-ecies being fulfilled in one person to be right at 10157 (a one followed by 157 ze-ros)”. (A Ready Defense, Josh McDowell, pg.210)

In Luke 2.19 it says that Mary “treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.” An-other word for “ponder” means “to bring together,” not unlike what someone would do with the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Like Mary, as we hustle through this Christmas, I hope we will take some time to consider, even con-template, the real details of the Christmas story and all their implications.

PET OF THE WEEKDear Santa, They say you can make

Christmas wishes come true. Can you please make mine come true? I’ve been good all year, and all I want now is to get out of this place! I can’t even tell you how long I’ve been here, but it feels like I’ve been here forever. Yes, really nice people do come in to pet me and my friends, and some of us get to leave with them. The nights are the hardest, because ...it’s so lonely, and we find ourselves crying a lot.

Why doesn’t anyone love us? What did we do wrong?

We can’t figure it out. The people who work here at the shelter are really nice, but they work really hard and get tired. They do their best to give us hugs and kisses and stuff, but we know they really want someone to come and take us to a new home.

All we want for Christ-

mas this year is to find new mommies and daddies, so we can make them the happiest people in the world. When we love people, it’s uncon-ditional…we just want a chance to show people that that’s really true. We miss curling up in someone’s lap,

playing with the kids, and all the things that make life so wonderful when we have humans to love and take care of us.

We know you’re really

busy right now, but could you please, please, please just tell everybody about us? Presents under the tree are great, but we think that WE could be the greatest gift ever because we are the gift that just keep on giving and giving.

Thank you Santa, for be-

ing our friend! Love, Shannon, Foxy, Cindy,

Cosmo, Hansel, Mickey, Pearl, and all of the rest of us here at the shelter.

FAU Owls fall to Miami Hurricanes in double-overtime in Orange Bowl ClassicSUNRISE, FL - Flor-

ida Atlantic met the Uni-versity of Miami in as part of the Orange Bowl Classic on Saturday, and the game matched the title as the two teams engaged in an offensive shootout. However, FAU ultimately fell short, los-ing 93-90 in double over-time.

The Owls (4-7) had to overcome a sluggish start to the game, as Miami scored 10 of the game’s first 12 points in just over four minutes. FAU rallied to tie the game at 13, before the Hurricanes pushed the lead out to 10 at 25-15. Another Owl rally cut the lead to two late in the half, but FAU sur-rendered a layup at the buzzer that put the Hur-ricanes ahead 34-30 at the half.

The second half of the game was a back and forth affair, with neither team able to

build a lead bigger than seven points. Miami led by six points with less

than a minute left in regulation, when Kore White slammed home back-to-back dunks to

cut the lead to two, 71-69. After Miami split a trip to the line, Omari

Grier his one of his Or-ange Bowl Classic re-cord-tying seven three-pointers as time expired to send the game to over-time.

FAU once again found itself down by three points late in the first overtime, and Grier again delivered the game-tying triple to knot the score at 82. The Owls then had to dig in on the defensive end to force the second overtime.

After a Kore White dunk and two Mi-ami misses from the free throw line, the Owls had the ball and a chance to tie, but a three-pointer at the buzzer was just short. Grier led all scor-ers with a career-high 27 points.Raymond Tay-lor scored 20 points and tied an OBC record with nine assists in the game.

Dolphins-Bills game observationsBy: Chris Nelson • I thought Matt Moore rebounded nicely from his mild concussion in Week 14. He only com-pleted 50 percent of his passes, but Brandon Mar-shall dropped three (in-cluding two touchdowns) and Moore threw some very nice balls. • You’ve got to hand it to Reggie Bush, don’t you? He’s really proving he can be a feature back this year and is running as well as I’ve ever seen him. I still question how long he can hold up, but he’ll be great of Daniel Thomascan be a reliable partner. • Brandon Marshall has dropped so many passes this season it’s ridiculous. He’s still got good num-bers on the season, but he’d have great numbers if he’d hauled in the touchdowns he should have. On the other side of the coin, Brian Hartline has been making incredible catches all season and had another one here just before he got drilled by a defender. He’s impressing me more and more all the time and I’d love to see what he’d do in a great offense. • John Jerry held up fairly well in place of Jake Long (back) at left tackle, though it’s hard to entirely judge his play when the Bills don’t have a pass rusher on the roster. The unit as a hole was iffy at first but really got going and opened up holes for Bush in the second half. • I thought the tackling on defense was pretty weak at first, which I would mostly at-tribute to the cold conditions. Everyone looked like they were going half-speed early on and too cold to really hit somebody, which inflated C. J. Spiller’s numbers. • Jared Odrick and Randy Starks got nice pressure from the inside, disrupting Ryan Fitzpatrick on multiple occasions and each notching a sack.Cameron Wake was the biggest beast of the day, drawing multiple penalties while recording six tackles and a sack. • Reshad Jones lucked into a pick, but Vontae Davis made two great plays on inter-ceptions. He’s really having a nice second half after being hampered by a hamstring injury and temporarily in the dog house. • Dan Carpenter and Brandon Fields are great at their jobs. What else is there to say? • Davone Bess averaged a healthy 16 yards on six punt returns, but his performance also signified just how weak of a returner he is. Watching the game, Buffalo’s cover-age was weak and there were at least two times where a great returner would have broken it all the way. The slow-footed Bess was caught easily from behind.

Lampkin, Garcia Kingly in Overtime Win Versus RoyalsBy Lance Thomas

BOCA RATON, Fla.—Lynn Univer-sity’s men’s basketball tallied an overtime win with the help of Jeremy Lampkin’s 21 points and Josh Garcia game tying three-pointer at the end of regulation to defeat the Queen College Roy-als 81-79 on Monday.

Lampkin led Lynn (7-5) with 21 points on an 8-for-12 night from the floor. Josh Garcia col-lected 11 points with three buckets from be-hind the arc.

The Blue & White jumped out to a six point advantage after a DeMa-rio Fountain three with 16:40 on the clock in the first half. Lynn built its first-half advantage to as much as 14 after Slo-bodan Miljanic connect-ed on two free throws with 05:20 remaining to make it a 36-22 game.

The Knights ended the first half up nine with the score Lynn 46, Queens 37. LU posted an impressive 60 percent shooting from down-town during the first half and out-rebounded

the Royals 16-10.Lynn held its nine

point advantage till the 15:15 mark in the sec-ond half when Queens posted an 11-3 run to take its first lead of the game since 14:24 on the clock in the first half. The Royals’ run con-tinued as they went up 60-56 with 10:44 left in regulation.

The advantage swayed back and forth the rest of the second half until Queens looked to put the Knights away after Brandon Nichols made two free throws to put his Royals up 72-69 with 54 seconds left.

On the ensuing pas-sion, Garcia hit one of the biggest buckets of the season for Lynn on a three from the corner in front of the Lynn bench to knot the game at 72 with 29 seconds left.

The Lynn defense answered the call and stone walled the Royals to preserve the tie and send the game to over-time.

Lynn battled through a 28.6 percent clip from behind the arc in the sec-

ond half while Queens collected a 48.1 percent mark from the floor in the second period.

Lampkin gave the Blue & White the first advantage in overtime after going one-of-two from the free throw line with 04:24 left. Then it was Lampkin again with a huge dunk to extend Lynn’s tilt to three after a Queens turnover.

The Royals answered right back with back-to-back buckets from Brent Evans to claim the lead at 76-75with 02:45 left in overtime.

Senior captain Michel Vidal then stole the lead back for LU with two clutch free throws with 02:28 on the clock with the score 77-76.

Down by one, Queens’ Nate Blackburn connected on a three with just under a minute and a half left to take the score to Lynn 77, Queens 79.

The next possession, Lampkin found Garcia open for an easy layup to, once again, tie the game.

With the game tied at

79 and less than a min-ute on the clock, Foun-tain planted his feet on the baseline and collided with Queens’ Daniel Bailey. Fountain earned the charge and a chance for the Knights to win the game with 42 second to play.

As the shot clock be-gan to dwindle for Lynn in a tied game, Fountain knifed his way into the lane and drew a foul. Fountain converted both free throws and the Blue & White went up 81-79 with 12 seconds left in the game.

The suspense contin-ued as Blackburn’s three pointer clanked the iron but while grabbing the offensive rebound, the Royals leading scorer, Brandon Nichols was fouled. At the free throw line with less than two seconds left and down by two, Nichols missed the first free throw. The intentional miss on the second free throw car-omed off the rim and over the back of the goal. The Knights were able to run out the re-maining 1.4 seconds and

collect their first over-time win of the season.

Lynn shot 48.2 per-cent from the floor for the game while hitting 47.8 percent of its shots from behind the arc. The Knights’ perimeter de-fense allowed Queens a mere 14.3 percent shoot-ing from behind the arc.

Vidal was one point away from a double-double with 14 rebounds and nine points. He also dished out a team-high

six assists. Miljanic added 14 points, six re-bounds and five assists.

Lynn starts the heart of Sunshine State Con-ference play in a New Year’s Eve face-off ver-sus the Saint Leo Li-ons starting at 4 p.m. in its next game. Stay tuned to LynnFighting-Knights.com for infor-mation concerning live coverage of the Saint Leo game.
